+> Requires spt-core **v0.31.0 or newer** and Oh My Pi **v16.3.15 or newer**. Update with `spt adapter update omp-spt`, then restart existing endpoints so they load the corrected listener and session identity.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Incoming messages containing quoted SPT events no longer shut the endpoint down.** The listener now preserves complete `<EVENT>…</EVENT>` text inside a peer message, while incomplete frames remain bounded and fail closed. Deferred messages also use OMP's follow-up queue so a streaming-state race cannot silently lose them.
+- **The inline OMP status now shows the complete endpoint identity.** The footer reads `<endpoint-id> @ <node> (<project-name>/)` in cyan instead of `spt:<endpoint-id>`, matching the session and terminal-window naming introduced in v0.3.7.
+
 ## [0.3.7] - 2026-07-19
 
 > Requires spt-core **v0.31.0 or newer** and Oh My Pi **v16.3.15 or newer**. Update with `spt adapter update omp-spt`, then restart existing endpoints so they load the new title behavior.

 `claude-spt-bs` v0.25.1 was the latest published sister release at that instant, published from
